NAME

Bio::SeqFeature::Similarity - A sequence feature based on similarity

SYNOPSIS

# obtain a similarity feature somehow
print "significance: ", $sim_fea->significance(), "\n";
print "bit score: ", $sim_fea->bits(), "\n";
print "score: ", $sim_fea->score(), "\n";
print "fraction of identical residues: ", $sim_fea->frac_identical(), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module is basically a sequence features based on similarity, and therefore has support for measures assessing the similarity.

Everything else is inherited from Bio::SeqFeature::Generic.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

significance

Title   : significance
Usage   : $evalue = $obj->significance();
          $obj->significance($evalue);
Function: 
Returns : 
Args    :

bits

Title   : bits
Usage   : $bits = $obj->bits();
          $obj->bits($value);
Function: 
Returns : 
Args    :

frac_identical

Title   : frac_identical
Usage   : $fracid = $obj->frac_identical();
          $obj->frac_identical($value);
Function: 
Returns : 
Args    :

seqlength

Title   : seqlength
Usage   : $len = $obj->seqlength();
          $obj->seqlength($len);
Function: 
Returns : 
Args    :

seqdesc

Title   : seqdesc
Usage   : $desc = $obj->seqdesc();
          $obj->seqdesc($desc);
Function: At present this method is a shorthand for 
          $obj->annotation()->description().

          Note that this is not stored in the tag system and hence will
          not be included in the return value of gff_string().
